Utensils
Please refer to the instructions under “Materials you can use in a microwave oven” and
“Materials to be avoided in a microwave oven”. There are some non-metallic utensils that
cannot be safely used for cooking in a microwave oven. If in doubt, you can test the relevant
utensil by following the procedure below.
Utensil test:
1.Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup of cold water (250ml) along with the relevant
utensil.
2.Cook on maximum power for 1 minute.
3.Carefully touch the utensil. If it is warm, do not use it for microwave cooking.
4.Do not exceed 1 minute of cooking time.
CAUTION
Risk of personal injury
It is dangerous for any unqualified person to carry out
repairs or maintenance that require the removal of the
oven cover, which protects against exposure to microwave
energy.
Cleaning and maintenance
Ensure to disconnect the appliance from the power source.
•
Clean the oven cavity after use with a slightly damp cloth.
•
Clean the accessories in the usual way in soapy water.
•
The door frame, door seal and adjacent parts should be
cleaned thoroughly with a damp cloth when dirty.
•
Do not use abrasive cleaners or hard metal scrapers to
clean the glass on the microwave oven door. These could
scratch the surface and break the glass.
•
Cleaning tips
To make it easier to clean the walls of the cavity with which
food may come into contact: Place half a lemon in a bowl,
add 300 ml of water and heat the microwave oven on full
power for 10 minutes. Clean the microwave oven by wiping it
with a soft, dry cloth.
